[opensuse] Python freeze
Hello, I want to create a stand-alone binary from a Python script. The freeze tool is not in the SuSE 10.3 distro, so I downloaded Python-2.5.1.tgz and extracted Tools/freeze.py - but can't get it working. It seeks files not included in SuSE 10.3. How can I add this freeze module? Should I reinstall Python from the tgz file? Is there an alternative for freeze more adapted to SuSE? Please advise.

Hello Michal, I downloaded cx-freeze rpm but can't install it. YaST says it can't find cx-freeze. cx-freeze requires python-devel and rpmlib which are not included with SuSE 10.3. python-devel is included with SuSE 10.2 - can I use that one? Please give more detailed instructions.

I downloaded and moved cx-freeze-3.0.3-2.2.i586.rpm in a new folder repo and added repo with YaST / Software Repositories. Then YaST / Software Management installed cx-freeze. Thanks Michal, FreezePython works! It compiled a short conversion script which does mainly string manipulation, and a longer script that imports Tkinter for GUI. The first binary must be started with full path on Konsole, the second binary starts with a mouse click! But I don't understand why source code is packed with RPM. YaST seems unable to extract cx_Freeze-3.0.3-source.tgz from cx-freeze-3.0.3-2.2.src.rpm Robert -- http://rwbest.no.sapo.pt/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[opensuse] Can't Build Search Index in KDE Help Center
Using SuSE 10.3 the Build Search Index - KDE Help Center panel lists indices for all documents as missing. Click on Build Index does not work, the status remains missing for all selected documents.

I had to add SuSE 10.2 as software repo. Also wine is missing in SuSE 10.3 - why? It's essential!

Hello, I use DVDs that go with Linux Magazine, SuSE 10.2 and 10.3 with issues 75 and 85. YaST can't find htdig or wine in SuSE 10.3. I had bad experience with opensuse.org repo, YaST takes ages to start. Maybe you enjoy very fast Internet connection? I live in a rural area in Portugal - the weather is much better here!

[opensuse] multiboot
Hi, SuSE 10.3 KDE is my workhorse but on other partitions I've several other Linux flavors (and MS WinMe). I can boot each OS and frequently add or replace one to explore a new Linux version. Doing so I encountered several problems for which I found no easy solutions. Installing a new Linux usualy changes the MBR and prevents to boot some old Linux's. SuSE 10.3 does a good (not perfect) job in recognising other OSs, but Fedora 8 for instance left me with only Fedora and Windows to boot. Then I try to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst or grub.conf if it exists. If the new Linux uses lilo instead of grub I consider it incompatible with the old ones and delete it. If it doesn't give me root access, or shows the Gnome desktop, I restart. One way out is to boot SuSE with the Boot Installed System option on its installation disk, logon as root, mount the new Linux with YaST Partitioner and try again to edit its menu.lst Another way is to use Mandriva Free 2007 that holds the last boot menu list. Its installation disk features the Rescue System / Re-install Boot Loader option. Then I can boot again all old Linux's and try to add an entry for the new Linux on menu.lst - but unfortunately Mandriva is one of those dreadful distros that doesn't allow root access so again I've to use SuSE to access its menu.lst Still another way is to use Knoppix or SimplyMepis to hack other systems - which seems to render passwords futile ... Moreover there is the problem of different file systems. If I replace a Linux using ext3 by a Linux using reiserfs, and forget to edit /etc/fstab in SuSE for this partition, then SuSE refuses to boot ... Any easier solutions?
